Mopeds, bikes, e-bikes, all these need to be held to the same traffic laws and enforced just like cars. This was completely avoidable. Start cracking down on it. I’m not blaming the mayor cause that’s stupid but he’s talking about softening laws against e-bikers.. this is only going to continue to happen. 13 year olds should be on the roads. Rip to these kids.
@Joey_Crack100 and if they’re to be held to the same laws then CARS need to treat them as such!!! wild you’re blaming these kids and not the cars trying to pass them when they’re LEGALLY allowed on the roads just the same as cars!!!
Two 13 year olds ….. on a moped … where is the parenting in that .
@Annon1972 actually they never do look at subway surfing how many have died
Honestly, not surprising given the amount of teenagers getting their hands on these. Parents don’t know how to parent these days
@brooklynUser2125639032 True.
People don’t always know what their kid is up to. You can’t monitor them 24/7. Its also summer vacation. Someone of you need to stop treating this app like social media and keep the nasty comments to yourself when people lose their lives. This app is meant to be informative and nothing more. Disgusting behavior! God bless the family, his soul and all who are affected by this horrible tragedy.
